The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3626-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-6914)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this to     access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-8778, CVE-2018-8780)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this to     connect to an unintended socket. (CVE-2018-8779)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
